[QUOTE="Portia1, post: 70255, member: 3565"] One little story among the many......I was walking alone from Samos toward Sarria. Got to a place on the road with arrows pointing in opposite directions. I should know by now that I need to go left rather than right (every time I got lost I had turned right rather than left!) but I went right. I walked and walked and walked, seeing nary another pilgrim though there were faint arrows here and there. But then the arrows stopped and I had no idea where I was and none of the few houses were occupied. Kept walking and walking and walking. Crossed over a small bridge and in the distance there was an elderly woman sweeping the road in front of her tiny house with a twig broom. I stopped and asked "Esta El Camino de Santiago?" She nodded yes. I practically wept with relief. When she saw my reaction, she reached up to the tree next to her and picked an apple. She presented it to me with a bow and said: For your Spirit and Go with God. Buen Camino! And gave me the largest smile. I didn't see another pilgrim until after I reached the Sarria Tourist/Pilgrim office. I asked there if I had taken the wrong road--apparently I had taken the old route which was longer than the usual one but got me there all the same, thanks be to God! [/QUOTE]
